Definitions

  • Antibodies are known to have powerful therapeutic effects and are currently used for the treatment of a range of diseases including cancer, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, and transplant rejection.
  • therapeutic antibodies are produced by recombinant technology, formulated and then administered to patients in need of antibody therapy.
  • antibody production and formulation is highly expensive.
  • many antibodies only have a very short half-life in vivo and therefore, may not reach their target antigen or target tissue before being degraded.
  • antibody therapy often requires high doses and frequent administration.
  • Gene therapy and genetic vaccination provide alternative approaches for delivery of large amounts of antibodies in vivo.
  • DNA is degraded slowly in the bloodstream. Formation of anti-DNA antibodies may occur (Gilkeson et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1995, 95: 1398-1402). The possible persistence of (foreign) DNA in the organism can thus lead to a hyperactivation of the immune system, which was known to result in splenomegaly in mice (Montheith et al., Anticancer Drug Res. 1997, 12(5): 421-432).
  • DNA integration can cause mutations in the host genome by interrupting an intact gene.
  • the present invention provides an improved method for safer and more effective delivery of antibodies in vivo based on messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery technology.
  • mRNA messenger RNA
  • the present invention is, in part, based on the surprising discovery that production of fully assembled multi-chain antibodies can be accomplished in vivo by delivering exogenous mRNAs encoding a heavy chain and a light chain of the antibody, even when the heavy chain and light chain are delivered by separate mRNAs.
  • mRNA messenger RNA
  • the present inventors have successfully demonstrated that multi-chain therapeutic antibodies can be delivered by mRNAs and produced by the patient's body itself, which makes it possible to eliminate the highly expensive recombinant antibody manufacturing process.
  • the antibodies produced from the mRNAs are surprisingly long lasting and can achieve systemic distribution efficiently.
  • the transient nature of mRNAs can also minimize the safety concern typically associated with foreign nucleic acids.
  • the present invention provides a safer, cheaper and more effective antibody delivery approach for therapeutic uses.
  • the present invention provides a method of delivering an antibody in vivo, by administering to a subject in need thereof one or more mRNAs encoding a heavy chain and a light chain of an antibody, and wherein the antibody is expressed systemically in the subject.
  • the one or more mRNAs comprise a first mRNA encoding the heavy chain and a second mRNA encoding the light chain of the antibody.
  • the one or more mRNAs comprise a single mRNA encoding both the heavy chain and the light chain of the antibody.
  • a heavy chain or light chain encoding mRNA comprises a sequence encoding a signal peptide.
  • a heavy chain or light chain encoding mRNA comprises a sequence encoding a human growth hormone (hGH) signal peptide (e.g, SEQ ID NO: 9 or SEQ ID NO: 10).
  • hGH human growth hormone
  • the sequence encoding a signal peptide sequence is linked, directly or indirectly, to the heavy chain or light chain encoding mRNA sequence at the N-terminus.
  • the first mRNA encoding the heavy chain and the second mRNA encoding the light chain are present at a ratio ranging between approximately 10:1 to 1:10 (e.g., between approximately 9:1 to 1:9, 8:1 to 1:8, 7:1 to 1:7, 6:1 to 1:6, 5:1 to 1:5, 4:1 to 1:4, 3:1 to 1:3, or 2:1 to 1:2).
